Five Geniuses Take the Stage, Senior Brother Li's Childhood Sweetheart

Upon hearing this, Li Sancai laughed in exasperation, "Junior brother, you... are indeed a qualified Spirit Farmer."

He couldn't find a more euphemistic way of putting it.

I want to praise him, but I can't.

I want to curse, but I can't.

Xu Changqing was not a relative like Li Lingbi.

They are not close confidants with whom one can share everything.

Ultimately, the two were just slightly closer fellow disciples.

Everyone has their own pursuits.

Since Xu Changqing dislikes fighting, he cannot force him to.

"Isn't that the Lan Tian?"

"Huo Wan is here too!"

"Good heavens, the top-ranking formal disciple have all appeared at [Foundry Peak]!"

At that moment, a commotion arose from the other side.

Xu Changqing, Li Sancai, and the people around them all looked over.

Then the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Then a red boat, its surface shimmering on the blue water, slowly descended.

Then, five people came down from upstairs.

Four men and one woman.

They were all young and handsome, with extraordinary bearing.

The person in the lead is none other than the current formal disciple of the Water-Control Pavilion.

Lan Tian!

This person has only Single Spiritual Root.

He has an extremely high level of comprehension.

Moreover, he had a remarkable experience as a child.

You have acquired a growth-type Spirit Artifact named [Autumn Water] and it has recognized you as its master.

It is said that this Autumn Water Sword is about to evolve into a more advanced magical Law Artifact.

For this reason, the Lan Tian not only possesses the unique and enduring spiritual power of the Water Spirit Root.

In terms of defense, attack, speed, and all other aspects, it far surpasses its fellow disciples.

Of course, he was originally in second place, always one step behind Li Lingbi.

However, Li Lingbi was later valued by the Nascent Soul True Lord and became a core disciple.

Therefore, Lan Tian has consistently held the top position among the formal disciple of the Water-Control Pavilion for many years.

The other four individuals are equally formidable.

They are Rong Yan, formal disciple of Spirit Fields and the number one person with the Wood Spirit Root.

Shi Gandang, formal disciple of the Earth Vein and the number one person with the Earth Spirit Root.

Huo Wan, formal disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion and the number one person with the Fire Spiritual Root.

Sword Jian Hanxin, the number one person with the Metal Spiritual Root and formal disciple of the Foundry Peak.

They are all geniuses with Single Spiritual Root, and all are exceptionally outstanding.

And without exception, everyone reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Seeing that Senior Brother Li was staring at Huo Wan, Xu Changqing asked curiously, "Senior Brother, are you smitten?"

"Well."

Li Sancai paused for a moment, then withdrew his dazed gaze and shook his head, saying, "No, we're childhood friends, it's just that things have changed a bit now."

The little kid I grew up with.

Now he is the youngest Alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion.

Moreover, he is the number one person with the Fire Spiritual Root among the formal disciple.

Thinking back, the last time the two chatted was five years ago.

"Childhood sweethearts?!" Xu Changqing's gossip-loving nature burned fiercely.

Just then, Huo Wan suddenly huddled together with Rong Yan.

This can be seen from their intimate actions.

Their relationship is most likely that of dao companion.

It's not the kind of thing where you hire dao companion.

It's more like... sharing a bed.

Li Sancai saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched.

In the end, however, he didn't have the courage to go up to them, not even to say hello.

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Senior brother, this Rong Yan is a member of the Rong Family Lineage in Spirit Fields, right?"

Li Sancai nodded vigorously. "He's more than just a member; his father is the current patriarch of the Rong Family."

Xu Changqing immediately understood.

To put it bluntly, this Rong Yan in his previous life...

They are rich second-generation individuals with status, position, and talent.

Li, the senior brother beside him, was rather ordinary.

Although he is a member of the Li Family, currently the most powerful Lineage in the Water-Control Pavilion.

Ultimately, it's just a collateral branch.

Moreover, if it weren't for Li Lingbi's sudden rise to power...

The Li Family might not necessarily be able to compete with the Lan Family behind Lan Tian.

Lan Tian's gentle gaze swept over the surroundings, and she chuckled softly, "So many people!"

"What's the use of having more people? They're all useless." Shi Gandang showed a disdainful expression.

Rong Yan and Huo Wan were whispering to each other.

Huo Wan occasionally let out a silvery laugh.

A look of disgust flashed in Jian Hanxin's eyes after hearing what Shi Gandang said.

At this moment, Lan Tian walked towards the newly cleaned arena number 1 without hesitation.

This scene piqued everyone's curiosity.

Soon, Lan Tian stepped onto the number one arena and said loudly, "Everyone, you've all come here to enrich your combat experience and improve your combat skills. In that case, come up and have a match with me?"

These words immediately caused an uproar.

Unexpectedly, the top-ranked formal disciple of the Water-Control Pavilion actually accepted everyone's challenge.

This is the closest opportunity to becoming a genius, a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

For a time, many people were eager to try it out.

Xu Changqing observed this and wondered, "It seems Lan Tian is using the challenger as a test. Could it be that his cultivation level or Cultivation Method has improved?"

At this point, the other side's arena, number 2, number 3, and so on, all the way to number 5.

Everyone got on.

It was none other than Rong Yan, Huo Wan, Shi Gandang, and Jian Hanxin.

Clearly, they share the same thoughts as Lan Tian.

Xu Changqing's eyes lit up at the sight, and he quickly reminded him, "Senior brother, this is another chance for you to communicate with Senior Sister Huo Wan!"

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it." Li Sancai lowered his head, appearing extremely insecure.

Xu Changqing said earnestly, "Didn't you just say you wanted to improve your experience and skills?"

Li Sancai said with a sigh, "But I am just an ordinary Spirit Farmer in the Spirit Fields."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing pondered, "Our team is still missing an Alchemist. Since Senior Sister Huo Wan is so outstanding, why not try to recruit her?"

These words made Li Sancai raise his head.

I don't know if it's because this excuse is really effective.

It was his cousin Li Lingbi who instilled confidence in him.

After some thought, he squeezed through the crowd and walked step by step toward the No. 4 arena where Huo Wan was.

Xu Changqing followed closely behind.

Soon, before anyone challenged Huo Wan, Li Sancai was the first to step up.

"Brother San Cai!" Huo Wan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the person who came up on stage.

Li Sancai suppressed his excitement and greeted him expressionlessly, "Fellow Daoist Huo, it's been a long time."

Huo Wan paused, glancing instinctively at Rong Yan, only to meet his sharp gaze. She frowned slightly, then said calmly, "Long time no see."

Xu Changqing was watching from below the stage when suddenly he heard the sound of rushing water from the other side.

He glanced over instinctively and saw that a fight was about to break out in arena number 1.

Lan Tian's opponent is a female disciple with Metal Spiritual Root.

He doesn't look very old.

Everyone else has long hair, but she has short hair.

They weren't wearing the white robes that were standard for formal disciple.

Instead, it was a very smart black training uniform.

"I remember this female disciple. She joined [Foundry Peak] less than a year ago. I heard she has exceptional comprehension. I think her name is Yan Yang?" someone nearby said.

Seeing that Li Sancai and Huo Wan hadn't made a move yet, Xu Changqing focused his attention on arena number 1.

Yan Yang controlled the Taibai Sword Pellet with his left hand.

He held a silver short sword in his right hand.

Unlike other Metal Spiritual Root, it doesn't stand still in one place.

Instead, they charged towards their opponent.

Seeing this, Lan Tian chuckled and said, "A melee swordsman, huh?!"
